It can't be that Johnny didn't practice enough during the off season, it's got to be the coach's fault for not recognizing his enormous talent.

I did not say I was against open enrollment. I am saying it is being abused in sports, specifically for sport reasons. When you live and pay taxes in a community, and you go to a community event such as basketball or football game, etc. Some parents may like to see students from that community playing in the game. When the team consists mostly of players from a different community, which also dominates playing time. Makes for a good argument to me. I don't have an interest either way but I am curious to see how it turns out. Who wins this case determines the direction the school system/sporting programs will go. Remember, this is not college where the school can offer scholarships or the student pays tuition to attend. This is high school where the dollars to pay the coaches salary, play for the gym to be built, comes mostly from the community.
